I'm looking to buy a new place. It has 3 ponds within 150-300 yards of each other. #1 is a 10 ac bass managed pond with no catfish(supposedly) and the other two have whatever the good Lord has put in them. I would like to make those 2 catfish ponds. I'm thinking Blue Catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus)and Flathead Catfish (Pylodictis Olivaris) mainly due to how large they can grow. CC seem to be the smallest of the cats and eat more trash like dead fish and bugs etc. The others seem to enjoy live forage fish more than "junk food". I may need CC in both other ponds for disposal services.

I would really like grow big cats so the kids and future grandkids can catch'em.
